NBA 2024-25 game tournament: best bets, dimensions and predictions

The regular NBA 2024-2025 NBA season is over, but we are not entirely ready for the playoffs. Before you can get there, the last four teams still in the running for the playoffs must participate in the game tournament – on which, of course, you can bet.

Let’s talk about a few of the ways you can bet on game tournament games. The following is the list of best bets on the NBA tournament (ratings via Draftkings).

Eastern conference game tournament

N ° 8 Atlanta Hawks (+180) against n ° 7 Orlando Magic (-5), o / U 217
Date: Tuesday April 15
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Blanket: Tnt

Yes, Atlanta has just beat Orlando on Sunday. But do not read anything on the result of this game (117–105, Hawks); Neither of the two teams has put his best foot forward. So do not draw any conclusion on how the game could take place in office.

Atlanta has a solid offense and will probably try to surpass magic. But it will be easier to say than to do against the defense of Orlando.

Our choice: more than 217

I think magic will win this game, but it is difficult to say with certainty if they cover the spread. However, on the basis of the way in which the previous matches between these two teams took place, there is a good chance that we will see more than 217 points scored in this match.

N ° 10 Miami Heat (+1) against n ° 9 Chicago Bulls (-115), o / U 219.5
Date: Wednesday April 16
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Blanket: Espn

Chicago has played well lately, with victories in six of their last seven games, including a 119-111 victory against Heat in Chicago. The Bulls have talented guys who have played well, and the heat has lost four of their last six.

But Eric Spoelstra knows something or two about winning clutch games like this, and I like his talented trio of Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins more than the Chicago talent base.

Our choice: Miami ML

Miami to make the playoffs at +320
A seeded n ° 10 never made the playoffs in the short story of the game tournament. But if there was a team that could make history and remove it, it is this team from Miami Heat.

Western conference game tournament

N ° 8 Memphis Grizzlies (+230) against n ° 7 Golden State Warriors (-7), o / U 229.5
Date: Tuesday April 15
Time: 10 p.m. Hae
Blanket: Tnt

These two teams have just faced a barn burner a few weeks ago – one that the Warriors won 135–125 in Memphis. I can hardly believe that a team that pulled their head coach in the section and does not play well, coherent basketball can beat Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.

Oh – And Steve Kerr knows one thing or two about his team with his team with the playoff series.

Our choice: more than 229.5

I think the Warriors will win it, but seven points seem a bit a lot with two teams that can score as they can. This is why I bet on the end for this game.

N ° 10 Dallas Mavericks against n ° 9 Sacramento Kings
Date: Wednesday April 16
Time: 10 p.m. Hae
Blanket: Espn

Is someone else surprised that the Dallas Mavericks even reached the game tournament? It was serious enough to exchanged Luka Doncic, but that the loss of Kyrie Irving in addition was simply painful. Anthony Davis is always a strength when he plays, but enough to beat the kings?

Eh – I don’t think. Domantas Sabonis will take care of Davis, and Zach Lavine and Demar Deroz will do the work on the offensive side of the field compared to a Dallas team which is probably impatient to end the season.
